Eating in public issues anyone?

[Kiwong]

I eat lunch at my desk, that's as close to public as I get.

i do... when i'm alone. i don't mind eating in public when i have company.

I used to be like that. What helped me was, I realized that I didn't take a blind bit of notice to others eating in public so why would they pay any attention to me. Its not as bad as your mind is making you think it is. When was the last time you saw someone eating in public with an army of onlookers standing around, mouths agape, pointing and staring at them as they ate? lol

I don't mind eating in public by myself. Neither do I with friends.

But if there are people in my class who recognises me around seeing me eat alone, oh yeh, I get anxious and hide ... instead of saying 'hello' (which is something we don't do right? :?)

Alone, I can't do it, always feel like people are looking at me and thinking look at that loner/weird guy.

With others, sure why not? Preferably not outside though

I use to eat my lunch in the school toilets lol, i can eat fine now i'm on anxiety meds, but still feel a lil awkward.

that awkward moment when youre nomming on your sammich and a piece of lettuce starts falling out of your mouth and you catch someone staring at you like youre a pig...

If its only 'awkward' for me I guess its not really an issue huh

When i eat alone i always feel like sad keanu (http://cdn.videogum.com/files/2010/06/sad_keanu.jpg) i cannot stand it like if everyone is looking at me thinking "what a weirdo" or something like that... Therefore i avoid the situation
When i'm not alone, something always goes wrong with sauces and stuff..
and from then on, suddenly i forget how to eat like a goddam normal person

Most people I see eating in public have their heads practically buried in their phones... seems like a good distraction~
